On January 16, 2026, our Omi Ambassador George Karani hosted a full-day Omi builder session in Nairobi, Kenya. It brought together a hands-on group of founders, developers, and builders exploring new opportunities in tech.
The format was simple and effective. A focused build in the morning, followed by an afternoon demo session where teams shared what they shipped. By the end of the day, the group had delivered 8+ prompt apps and one app built with the Omi API.

What made this builder session special
Nairobi showed up with the kind of energy we love in the Ambassador Program. The room was diverse, curious, and genuinely hands-on. Builders came from different industries, including health, web3, and hospitality. That mix made the conversations sharper and the ideas more grounded, because everyone brought a different set of real-world workflows to test.
Instead of spending the day talking about what could be built, the group focused on shipping. Small teams moved quickly, iterated fast, and got to working demos by the afternoon. That rhythm is exactly what helps new builders “get” Omi in a single day.
What teams built
Throughout the session, teams created apps that reflected local creativity and practical use cases. Here are a few of the apps shipped during the event:
The group also shipped one app using the Omi API, showing strong interest in going beyond prompts and building deeper integrations.
The demo session. fast, friendly, and real
After the morning build, the afternoon demos turned the room into a mini showcase. Teams walked through what they built, how they approached the workflow, and what they want to improve next. With founders and builders from different backgrounds in the audience, feedback stayed practical and immediately useful.
This is a big part of why Ambassador-led events work so well. They create local momentum, they grow the builder community, and they help new developers get their first “shipped” win with Omi.
Thank you, Nairobi
Huge thanks to George Karani for organizing and leading the session, and to everyone who joined and built. We are excited to keep supporting builder meetups like this across the Ambassador Program, and to keep showcasing what local communities can ship in a single day.
